It's 90 foot square, one third the size of a football pitch if you're asking, it sits on a hill 600 feet up and most of the time it's white… But on Friday 16th March, between 10:00 am and 1:00 pm, if you happened to be driving along the B4041 or the A361 near Broad Hinton and looked up at the gentle slope of Hackpen Hill it would have looked distinctly red. Big Red Nose Cover Up | | ...turning the horse red. |
In the run up to Comic Relief Day, on Friday, The Graham Seaman Show has been out and about around the county collecting anything (and we mean anything) that's red. Armed with a mountain of red stuff, red material, red faux leather cat suits and red hats the team than headed down to the white horse at Hackpen Hill to 'Red Nose' one of the county's most well known landmarks all in the name of Comic Relief. And, in just three hours the operation code named Big Red Nose Cover Up, was successfully completed... By 1:00 pm the Hackpen Hill white horse had been turned completely red. Seeing RedSo, if you missed it… this is what you missed. |
